The Forlorn Souls

Western Ghouta, nearly oppositions furthermost post. Since 2012, this region is administered by rebels. The Russian aided, government forces are continuously targeting this region with nuclear weapons. This way the people in this region, on one side are killed by these attacks and those who got injured or remain unhurt die of hunger. 

Before this fighter jets of America, Russia & France like roaring fleet had showered loads on Raqqa & Halab. Even schools and hospitals were not left. All over there was debris and dust of ashes. Currently Ghouta has the same situation. Government forces are continuously storming this region, people are being buried alive under rubble, children & women are calling for help. UN has passed many resolutions for ending war there but is not providing tunnel for welfare operations. UNHRC  Deputy Secretory also said that, "Although resolutions had been passed, but Syrian people are continuously being murdered by  arms, wars, killings, destruction, hunger & challenges. Nothing has changed even after passing these resolutions." 

This was the time when women of 55 countries assembled, planned to celebrate International Women's Day of year 2018 in solidarity with Syrian children, women & emigrants on Syrian Border.  This was called The International Conscience Convoy. 

"On March 8 (International Women's Day), we had to assemble on Syrian Border to extend soliditary with Syrian people." Miss Aisha Syed said, who participated in this event and is representative in Pakistan National Assembly. Further she said, "For that, we first assembled in Istanbul on March 6. This convoy was consisting of thousands of Women. After having a brief press conference, our convoy started. During the press conference, rain was showering Istanbul heavily but everyone managed it all and that in open field. The people of 55 countries were having the emotions in their hearts, that, this is the gloom of all. It was the situation when everyone's heart was wrenching. On marching towards  Syrian border, we were simultaneously recording our protest by press conferencing.

On 8 March, when we reached there, the emigrated Syrian women who were part of this convoy soberly disclosed of themselves that some of them were having three children & some with two children and their husbands, who had been martyred. Some are being put behind the bars from past 15-16 years. These women were having the photos of their children and husband neck-laced. Badly broken, not only these women but everyone present there was seem to be shadowed dark. Even it was felt that earth & sky is also crying with us.

These women were the prey of deep pain, their eyes were deserted. The beauty of this convoy was that people of different cast, creed, colour &  religion were present. Nelson Mandela's family was also present. It was afternoon on that day, we stepped forward towards the Reyhanli which is such a place on Syrian-Turkish border from where Syria can be seen. It is some 1 - 1.5 kms away from Syria.

 

The boys and girls there, were living in the world which was forcing soul to come in mouth. Someone was cut off their hand or foot. Someone was not having some body part. Believe it or not, the moments which can't be uploaded or found on media, we saw them all. Hearts remain extremely shackled there.

 

Such beautiful boys and girls who were strong,  full of motivation with good & united skill but the situation present there, heart was enduring the tears of blood. Isn't it the shameness of humanity for pushing them in such situation? Really, it is the big shame for this coward humanity and it's contractors. Dealing like this with these pure souls led hearts and minds jolted. I think that world might never had faced such brutal activity, even for the dealing of culprits.

 

Al-Khidmat, the NGO working there for their sustenance, running many shelter camps there. In one such camp of Al-Khidmat, we went, there were more than 300 people hosted. Families are being provided by well possible adequate facilities even inside the Syria by Al-Khidmat. We also met with the women of Syria, we hand-shaked them, hugged them and consoled them. Al-Khabeeb Foundation —another NGO, whom we met on Syrian border. This foundation makes 180000 flatbreads every day to serve the Syrian people. In orphanage, we even saw the children who were barely aged between 1 - 5. These children were having the thirst of parent's love and care, their beautiful little eyes looking for their families to come. They all hugged us, left-right, kissed our hands and heads. All this was......!

 

There were also some women who had lost more than half of their families. Some are left with few loved ones and some had lost them all. That desertedness on their faces, in their eyes,  can't be penned down. It seemed like I'm alive but nothing less than frozen corpse. Although this all had happened with them but they are still strong enough, without any fear and in their eyes there seem like the fire of revenge. I saw that a small child who can't even think of his defense angrily jumped on the cameraman, pretending him to be wrong, like the Lion."

After all the limits, somewhere there is stop where everyone has to get their moments to halt for the tickling clock & someone even may have to end their flights to again raise from the ground.

O you, who have believed, be persistently standing firm in justice, witnesses for Allah, even if it be against yourselves or parents and relatives. Whether one is rich or poor, Allah is more worthy of both. So follow not (personal) inclination, lest you not be just. And if you distort (your testimony) or refuse (to give it), then indeed Allah is ever, with what you do, Acquainted. ———[Quran- 4:135].

It's beautiful explanation — "Allah did not suffice to say that you should follow the path of justice but said that, "You should be the bearers of Justice". Your job is not only to do justice but also to raise the banners of justice. You must be committed to eradicating oppression and replacing it with justice needs for its establishment, your position as a believer is to be that support —— (Surah Nisa, Haisha No. 164, Tafheem ul Quran)

Everyone needs track, set by the brave & honest leaders of Turkey there, who have raised a great Nation. Hats off to them, they raise their own people to help the distorted society of oppressed Syrians. They have funded to produce some more than 4000 graduates there. Their government has setup such a good & transparent system that the people who send support receive the "Thank you" message from the Syrian family along with the ID Number for the belief that my charity has not been misused.
